IE News : Special Issue Celebrating International Epilepsy Day 2015

Events for International Epilepsy Day are now happening all around the globe. We are delighted to bring you this special issue of IE News to commemorate International Epilepsy Day.

In order to highlight that this is a combined effort of IBE and ILAE, for the first time we have a joint message from the Presidents of both organisations in our magazine, with Thanos Covanis and Emilio Perucca pictured outside the WHO Executive Board Room in Geneva on the day WHO approved a resolution on epilepsy, on which you will hear much more in the coming days and weeks.

The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) was established in 1961 as an organisation of laypersons and professionals interested in the medical and non-medical aspects of epilepsy. The IBE addresses such social problems as education, employment, insurance, driving licence restrictions and public awareness.
